Patient's question:
How is menopausal syndrome treated? Recently, I've been feeling hot flashes and chest tightness, which is very uncomfortable. I also tend to get angry easily. How can I take care of myself?Doctor's answer:
From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, menopausal syndrome is primarily caused by factors such as phlegm-heat disturbing the heart, insufficient qi and blood, and excessive heart fire, leading to the malnourishment of the mind. It often accompanies symptoms like irritability, excessive sweating, emotional tension, and neurosis. In such cases, it is advisable to consult a professional TCM practitioner for specific syndrome differentiation and treatment to nourish the mind. During this period, it is important to pay close attention to maintaining a calm mood, engaging in frequent communication with others, and avoiding overexertion. Wishing you a speedy recovery! I also hope you can evaluate my response. Thank you!For menopausal patients, in addition to immediate treatment, it is also essential to pay attention to self-care. For example, pay close attention to personal hygiene, avoid sexual activity during medication, and finally, remind female patients to undergo regular follow-up examinations!
